Dunno why. >Doesn't sound as "slick" as it did. > >--CA I agree Chris, since I made this observation about a year ago before the remasters were issued. My opinion as to why the "love-in" for the Grey album for oldtime Bunnyfans, isn't really a "love-in" but an acceptance since the Bunnymen have isssued other albums since. The point is that at the time we were expecting the sixth masterpiece (I'm including STLAS) and we were sorely disappointed at the slick production and the "sell out" commerical aspect of "Lips" when the sales should have been for any previous non-pop oriented Bunny single. Now that time has pass, none of the comeback albums have the masterpiece status to us, whatever, merits we feel for WAYGTDWYL and/or Flowers. They don't equal to the first four in status of our eyes as grew up chroncically with these albums. Laterday Bunnyfans will have different opinions, especially those who first awareness of the Bunnymen was "Lips". The remastered bonus tracks from the Grey album and Grey tracks from Crystal Days show how this album should have sounded, I think we wouldn't have been so harsh at the time, granted it is a masterpiece but it's a fine album.
